How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its smooth, sweet caramel‑vanilla profile and good value. Critics find it too soft, clearly dosed and lacking depth or length. Consensus: a solid, easygoing Spanish-style starter rum.
If you like Zacapa-style sweetness but want something a touch drier and cheaper, this fits: smooth, caramel-heavy and uncomplicated, though it won’t wow complexity hunters.
Drinkers seeking dry, complex, high-ABV rums or anyone avoiding sugared/dosed profiles; also not ideal for fans of funky or intensely characterful styles.

Great Sweet round rum, for all. Taste great .
Bland, not sweet. Nothing memorable
Dégustation à l'aveugle Aux Secrets Des Vins : Visuel assez sombre (le plus foncé des 3 vieux présentés), de belles larmes qui font penser à du 10/12 ans minimum. Au nez, je suis un peu perdu, c’est une mélasse sans aucun doute, mais les arômes pâtissiers, amande (très présente, et agréable), fruits secs, banane peut être… ne me font penser à rien de précis. Une vague idée me dit qu’il pourrait s’agir d’une mélasse de La Réunion, sans trop de conviction. En bouche : fruits secs, vanille, tabac, caramel… et une finale légèrement sur le café ou le chocolat au lait ? Franchement aucune idée de ce que c’est, peut être un Santa Teresa Coffee à 45° environ ? Mon idée : Santa Teresa Coffee, Mélasse, Vénézuela, environ à 45° * Roulement de tambours * >>> Botran N°18, Guatemala (mélasse), méthode Solera, 40%.
A very sweet rum in my mind, but fruity with light wood and vanilla. I use this one for desserts or baking.
